State of Mind

You may say I am Insane,
And you maybe right,
But do you care?
Should I even care?

To me it is trivial about
what you think,
You mind is so different
to mine,
So no comparison can be
made...
Safely anyway,

For you see the world as it
is shown to all,
But are obliviously hiding from
its reverse image,
Its true visage,
There is so much lies that we
take for truth,
That we try to tune others out,
I was once the same,
I was oblivious once,
But not anymore,
Never again,
For now I see the truth,
In this world web of lies,

Now my world is delusion,
The apparitions of an
shaken mind,
Trapped within my own mind,
In a place of darkened light,

And now years upon years,
I have dreamed the lies,
But now I have awoken,
And oh how I long to return,
To those dreams of reality,
But now I'm trapped forever
in the nightmares that haunt
my awakening hours,

And now my dear child,
Who is still locked in dreams,
Listen to me ,
And always remember that to
know is not always the best
of things,
But if you are brave or maybe
just foolish enough,
Then come to me,
Where the states are blurred,

Minds are rewritten,
In new twists and turns,
But remember now there's no
going back,
Come enter join me,
In hell,
My state of mind is clear,
You'll never be the same...
Again, Never, Ever, Again.
